Yipin Tianxia

When Miss Cui Qi started labor reform and marched in the direction of Mrs. Gu, Young Master Ouyang took the blessing and crossed the mountains to the other side of Xuancheng.

The water on Wutong Mountain converges here to form a not-too-narrow river channel. If it is a detour, it will take at least half a day to walk, but if it is a direct crossing, you have to queue up and take a boat.

"How did this happen?" Nian Fu got off the carriage and asked the monk who helped the ferry, "Master, I remember that there was a bridge a few days ago, where is that bridge?"

The monk sighed, "After several spring rains, the water level rose sharply, and the pontoon bridge was washed away again. If you look carefully, there are no traces of wooden piles?"

Nianfu took a closer look, and sure enough, at a depth of one foot below the shore, there were wooden bridges and iron cables from the past.

Ouyang Kang also came over and asked, "Since it's flooded every year, why don't you ask the government to build a stone bridge here?"

"Why didn't you ask for it? But this place is located at the junction of several towns, so it just doesn't matter. Besides, the world was in chaos a few years ago, how could anyone take care of it? Although a new dynasty has been established, none of the yamen is rich. Where do we go?" Go for alms?"

"Then why don't you ask the rich people nearby to solicit donations? This is also a merit."

"Young master may not come often, so I don't know our local situation. Although this is the shortest way to Xuancheng, the road is high and steep. Rich people have good carriages, and they run fast. I would rather take a longer detour, so that I can walk more steadily. Therefore, they are not very willing to donate. Most of the people who come from here are poor people on both sides of the road, how much can they donate?"

The monk pointed to a cornice halfway up the mountain, and pointed to a merit box beside the ferry. "Look, our Nantai Temple is on the mountainside. The presiding master has wanted to do this great merit since he was young, but he has been raising donations for decades, and the money he collects every year is only enough to build the pontoon bridge when the water recedes. , but you have to cultivate, otherwise everyone will not be able to cross the river."

Ouyang Kang's heart moved when he heard this, "Then how much will it cost to build a stone bridge?"

The monk looked at him seriously.Seeing that although his clothes are plain, but his appearance is very good, he may be a benefactor, so he said sincerely, "Actually, it's not much. These years, Master often takes us to pick mountains and dig rocks. We have already accumulated a lot of materials. As long as you hire a capable craftsman who can build bridges, and another two or three hundred taels of silver is enough. Don’t worry, the small temple will not dare to be greedy for pennies, it will only be used to build bridges. If you don’t believe me, you can take a look at our The merit book, every donation received in the past few decades, and the whereabouts of the flowers are clearly stated. It will never lie."

Ouyang Kang smiled, "Master, you are being polite. We can trust this."

After seeing what he said, there was nothing left, and the monk's eyes that were originally shining with hope dimmed again. He sighed lowly, turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Seeing that Master is not long to come, I don't know if there is still more in this life." I never saw the completion of this bridge with my own eyes."

Nianfu looked at Ouyang Kang suspiciously, but he shook his head slightly.Taking another look at the people still queuing up, Nianfu understood.No more words.

Ji Langu looked at the way the two of them were flirting with each other, not knowing why, so she couldn't help frowning, but she didn't say anything in front of so many people outside.

After waiting for almost an hour, they finally had four masters and servants.

The ferry boat is narrow, and it is easy for people to pass, but the carriage is a bit troublesome, so it can only be disassembled. A few monks first carried the carriage onto the boat and dragged it, and then let Mo Yun lead the horse. There were four masters and servants, but they were divided into three. Not to mention a waste of time, the monks were so tired that they tossed in the water for a long time.

Ouyang Kang was very sorry, and asked Lan Gu to take a piece of silver to thank them, but the monk didn't accept the money, but said, "This is to do meritorious deeds, so I dare not accept money. If the son is willing, please leave a name as a reference." Donate to build the bridge."

Ouyang Kang nodded, donated the money in the name of Lan Gu, then set up the car and continued to lead the people on the road.

After entering the city, he found the inn to rest, closed the door, and Nianfu took out his big package, "I have an extra 200 taels of silver, you mean to donate here?"

There were a lot of people at the ferry just now, Ouyang Kang didn't let her talk too much because he was afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, young master Ouyang raised his eyebrows and smiled, and hooked his finger at her, "Come here, listen to me."

Nima, this is too monstrous, did you see, there are dimples, it's Li dimple with a slight smile!Brother Mu couldn't resist the temptation of beauty, so he leaned forward.

The two of them bit their ears, and when Lan Gu came in with some tea, she frowned even tighter and coughed heavily, which scared them away.

But after they separated, Nianfu didn't blush or avoid, and still stood opposite Ouyang Kang, asking doubtfully, "Would it be bad to do this?"

"What's wrong?" Ouyang Kang raised his chin, "People respect me a foot, and I respect others. But what if people destroy you a millet?"

"Shall I destroy him ten grains?"

"Wrong!" Young Master Ouyang raised his eyebrows, and scorned Nianfu with his small eyes that hated iron but not steel, "What's the point of doing things that harm others but not yourself? You should at least take ten fights from him!"

Well, no wonder people often say that hooligans are not to be feared, only that hooligans are educated.After all, people who have read books are tougher and more ferocious. Nianfu knew what to do, and went to count the money with the burden.

Lan Gu managed to find a chance to mention Ouyang Kang, "Sister Mu is a girl after all, even if she wears men's clothes, she shouldn't get too close outside, if someone finds out, they will have a bad reputation."

Young Master Ouyang didn't know what to think of, and instantly blushed, promised to write it down, Lan Gu was satisfied with the work, and thought about when he had to beat Sister Mu at the right time.Let her remember her identity, even if she is not her own servant, how can she be equal to her young master in every way, and she doesn't know how to be humble?

Putting aside these concerns for the time being, the next day happened to be April 28, the birthday of Medicine King Bodhisattva, and many families would go to Fangguang Temple in Xuancheng to worship.Those who are sick seek peace, and those who are healthy seek peace of mind.

A crowd of pilgrims came and went, and the monks were chanting scriptures. At noon, it was the time of alms giving and fasting. Suddenly, a young monk came to report, saying, "Master Fuyuan, the abbot of Nantai Temple, is here!"

Master Juehui, the fat and white host in the temple, immediately changed his expression when he heard this, "Please!"

Even though he is now much better than the impoverished master Fuyuan on Wutong Mountain, but in terms of seniority, that master, but his uncle, especially his one-hearted dedication to Buddhism, practiced ascetic meditation, very admirable.

I personally greeted the general and went out, and saw that the teacher uncle whom I hadn't seen for a long time was obviously older and thinner, his beard and hair were all white, and he was almost huddled, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright.

"Uncle, why don't you let your nephew go to greet you when you go down the mountain yourself?"

Master Fuyuan waved his hands cheerfully, and his old voice was full of joy, "With these little apprentices carrying them, how can you pick them up? But I came here today because I really have something to trouble you you."

"What's the trouble? Uncle, please tell me."

It was only then that Juehui noticed that the uncle was wearing a formal abbot's cassock, which was rare today. Although it had been washed and turned white, it was neatly draped on his body, showing great caution.

Master Fuyuan beckoned, and summoned a charming little girl from behind, "I came today because I know you have a lot of people, can I ask you to help invite the master and wife of the Hou family over, and borrow your This treasure land, do something for this girl?"

Although Juehui is a bit inexplicable, he is familiar with the master and wife of the Hou family.Both of them happened to be in the temple, just go and invite them over, but what exactly are they going to do?

When Hou Xianglin and Mrs. Hou came over, they thought Abbot Juehui was going to bless them alone, and they were quite excited.

It is said that ever since there was such a farce at Mr. Hou's birthday banquet, the life of his wife and his wife was really difficult. Everyone didn't talk about it, but the spittle in secret was almost drowning people.In particular, Hou Fangyu moved to his grandfather's yard after that day, served soup and medicine in his clothes, and ignored the affairs of the outside world. Is there anything wrong with being filial to grandpa?"

The Hous were so choked that they had nowhere to vent their anger, and since the old man vomited blood that day, his body was not as good as before. Whether it was for fame or to win back his son's heart, the Hous had to do something.It coincided with the birthday of the Medicine King Bodhisattva, and the two discussed to do a grand ceremony for the old man, and then invited the doctor from the city's medicine hall to come over to give medical treatment and medicine, which won a lot of praise.

As soon as the couple felt that the reconstruction had established a reputation, they came to the compound with some confidence, and saw many pilgrims gathered there.

The little monk shouted, "Please step aside, Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou are coming!" The crowd automatically separated to let the couple pass.

Enjoying such courtesy, they were still quite proud, but when they walked into the crowd, they saw a kind-faced and kind-eyed old monk standing next to Master Juehui. A delicate and beautiful little girl?

The couple's hearts choked at the same time, what's wrong?Why is this girl running here again?

However, Master Juehui first introduced the two parties, and then said with a smile, "Master Hou, Mrs. Hou is here for nothing but to settle an old case. Young benefactor, you can speak for yourself."

"Thank you, master." Nianfu deliberately changed the patched women's clothing that he brought from home today, and he responded crisply. , I am the granddaughter of the Shi family in Huai'an Town, Sister Mu."

As soon as these words fell to the ground, the crowd suddenly burst into exclamations, "This is the Mu family sister? What a beautiful little lady! It's strange that Mr. Hu wants to have a bad heart, and it really isn't his fault."

The audience discussed, Nianfu smiled generously, "Everyone has heard about me, so you must know that I owe the Hou family 500 taels of silver, right?"

The Hou couple's heart sank when they heard this, this girl mentioned this matter in front of so many people, what on earth is she going to do?
